i just finished and uploaded this retro, kinda german, ROBOCOP poster at imagekind.com.

While i'm sure the german release of ROBOCOP didn't undergo a name change, i like doing it...making them seem even more foreign and classic. ROBOTERPOLIZIST literally means 'robot policeman'...
it's in (my fast becoming trademark) red and blue overlap technique with light aging.
available framed or unframed.

I love when people drop me a note with interesting stories about how they found my work, where they display it in their homes, or some other small world connection with them, me or it.

For example, Micheal here bought a print of Big Trouble and took it with him to a convention, getting Lo Pan himself to sign it. I'll let him tell it.

Mr. Pitts,
I recently purchased your gorgeous "Big Trouble in Little China" poster to take with me to Megacon2010 in Orlando, Florida, where I had it signed by Lo Pan himself, Mr. James Hong. Mr. Hong was very impressed with the design, and signed the poster with a metallic-silver marker. He asked for information about it, and I emailed him a link to the poster here on Imagekind. Thanks for helping this fanboy make an impression! I wish you success, and with your blessing, will continue to purchase your art for the purpose of having it signed at other conventions.

Your fan,
Michael :o)

I'm waiting to see if Michael has any pics of the occasion, and if so I'll post an update.

3/10/10 UPDATE: sold outof first batch, preselling for second batch now at the etsy shop, should be in in a week or so!

3/9/10- i finally got in my shipment of black and satin silver decals that i designed to spoof the jesus fish emblem- in the shape of a ray gun touting SCI-FI!
they look great! they are 3x5 roughly, and made out of durable weatherproof vinyl supposedly good for 5 to 7 years on your car.

black works best on red and lighter car paint.
silver works great on the rear window, and red or darker car paint.

they're going fast! i only placed a small order to test the waters, and i may have to order more soon. in the next batch, i may have a small number of white ones (best for back windows) and maybe metallic gold as well...for the pimps out there ;)

I'd like to think they can pull it off, but every other episode this season is hit or miss so far...feels like they need ONE more season to really wrap things up. I don't want everything tied up with a bow, but there are so many things that need at least a general HINT of an explanation to satisfy the intelligent viewers. We can't keep writing the show and patching all the plot holes and missteps in our heads and in fan forums for the writers. There is being smart enough to read into things and get what you want from a work of art, and then there is being an apologist for half-assery.

I'm going to keep this blog spoiler free, but the banter of Hurley and Jack this last episode, the discovery they made and the witty and convenient explanation of it was damn near insulting by this point. I understand Hurley has kind of become the voice of the fans in the audience, almost breaking the fourth wall of the show at times, but come on. What they discovered and everything that happened was nothing but last minute 'making it up as we go'.

all the same, I've been in a LOST mash up mood lately, after the success of my LOLS cats pic...
